1 Samuel 25:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ I hear that your sheepshearers are with you. Your shepherds have been with us, ⌞and⌟ we have not mistreated them. Nothing of theirs has been missing as long as they’ve been in Carmel. ⁸ Ask your young men, and let them tell you. Be kind to my young men, since we have come on a special occasion. Please give us and your son David anything you can ⌞spare⌟.’ ”

⁹ When David’s young men came to Nabal, they repeated all of this to him for David, and then they waited.
